[Conventional technology]

Generally, when cutting viscous foods such as butter and margarine, Pre-processed viscous food is continuously discharged from a discharge port such as a nozzle, and the viscosity of the discharged food is The food is transferred by placing it on the transfer surface of a conveyor whose transfer speed is approximately equal to the food delivery speed. The viscous foods that have been transported are sequentially cut and processed. However, the food that was regurgitated Due to the high viscosity of the product, the lower surface of the viscous food may adhere to the transport surface due to its viscosity. There are cases where this happens. In particular, the discharge speed from the discharge port varies depending on the state of pre-processing. For example, due to clogging of viscous food, the transport speed of the conveyor may be slower than that of the conveyor. It often becomes. In this way, if the transfer speed on the transfer surface of the conveyor is faster, , when the viscous food transfers from the discharge port to the transfer surface, the bottom surface of the viscous food absorbs the viscosity.

[0008] Discharge port 1 is the final outlet of a manufacturing device (not shown) for viscous foods such as butter and margarine. This corresponds to the tip opening of the discharge nozzle 11 in the process, and in this embodiment, the viscous food is Since it is discharged in a shape, it has a rectangular cross section. The shape of the discharge port 1 is, for example, triangular. , circular, etc., and can be freely changed, and a grid of the appropriate shape should be arranged at the discharge port. By cutting the viscous food in advance into a shape that follows the lattice shape, the viscous food is discharged. I can do it.

[0009] Next, the cutting means 2 includes a blade 21 that cuts the viscous food a from above, and a blade 21 that cuts the viscous food a from above. It consists of a driving means (not shown) for swinging down. As this driving means, flow It is possible to use similar conventional cutting devices such as body pressure cylinders and electric motors. Ru. When the viscous food a is butter, margarine, etc., the cutlery 21 is heated. It is preferable to increase the cutting performance. In addition, if you make cuts or use a cutting die, If you want to remove viscous food by using a knife, you can use a knife instead of a suitable mold. stomach.

0010 Next, the conveyor device 3 is arranged between the discharge port 1 and the cutting means 2, and the conveyor device 3 is arranged between the discharge port 1 and the cutting means 2 to The viscous food a is placed on it and transported to the cutting means, and in this embodiment, the belt is A belt conveyor is used as the transfer surface 31. In addition, instead of a belt, you can use a net or play The form of the transfer surface can be changed as appropriate. Also, in this example, the conveyor The device 3 is placed between the discharge port 1 and the cutting means 2, but after the cutting process, there is no need for further packaging, etc. When automating a series of post-processes, a conveyor device 3 may be extended after the cutting means 2. You may.

[0011] Finally, the adhesion prevention means 4 on the transfer surface is a nozzle arranged at the starting end of the conveyor device 3. 41, a pump 42 that pumps the anti-adhesive liquid to the nozzle 41, and a pump 42 that stores the anti-adhesive liquid. A tank 43 is provided. This anti-adhesive liquid may be applied at room temperature, but may be applied at low temperatures (below room temperature). , more preferably -10 to -30°C). In the example, the tank 43 is equipped with a cooling device 44. Examples of anti-adhesion liquids include Disinfectants such as alcohol and water can be used, but if alcohol is used, The transfer surface can be disinfected at the same time as cooling, and it does not solidify even below 0℃. It has good cooling properties and is advantageous. ) The width of the nozzle 41 is approximately equal to the width of the transfer surface 31. Spray the anti-adhesive liquid across the width, but it is sufficient if you can spray at least the width of the viscous food a. . In addition to discharging from the nozzle 41, the anti-adhesive liquid may also be applied with a brush or the like. The means may be changed as appropriate, such as dipping the road belt in an anti-adhesion liquid. Also, nozzle 41 It is better to place the This is the most efficient way to prevent viscous foods such as galin from adhering to the transfer surface. , it may be implemented by changing to other positions. Additionally, the nozzle is positioned above the transfer surface. By discharging low-temperature anti-stick liquid from above the viscous food being transported, It is also preferred to cool the entire food product.

0012 As described above, in this viscous food cutting processing device, the conveyor device 3 is Since the anti-adhesion liquid is sprayed from the nozzle 41 on the conveying surface, there is a risk of it adhering to the conveying surface. and can be prevented. Furthermore, by cooling the anti-stick liquid, The bottom surface of viscous food (a) such as tar, margarine, etc. is cooled by the anti-adhesion liquid, and its viscosity decreases. This prevents the bottom surface of the viscous food from adhering to the transport surface due to its viscosity. It is possible to more reliably prevent this from happening.

The casing 51 has an inlet 53 and an outlet 54 formed therein. The conveyor device 3 is passed inside it. This allows the conveyor device 3 to transfer the The viscous food a is cooled by the low temperature atmosphere inside the casing 51, and its entire surface is viscosity becomes lower. This may cause deformation of the viscous food a during the cutting process. , can be prevented and better cutting processing can be achieved.

In this example, the transfer surface 31 is constructed from a steel belt, and the transfer surface 31 A nozzle 61 is disposed over approximately the entire length of the transfer surface 31 between the forward and return paths of the The cooling liquid is spouted onto the back surface of the outward path of the surface 31. The spouted coolant is It is received by a drain pan 62 arranged below and has a configuration similar to that shown in FIG. used cyclically.

[0018] Furthermore, as a configuration for cooling the entire transfer route, the one shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is used. In addition, it can be changed as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. The cold air sent from the refrigerator 72 by the fan 73 is transferred by the guide plate 74. It is guided to one side above the surface 31 and sucked into the suction port 74 from the other side for circulation. You may also do so.
